like it was said in the first post in this page, don't use drm in Steam. it's basically impossible to pirate Steam versions of games. Steam is a Gateway for people who doesn't want drm (like me) this is why it's so popular.

and don't judge sales by retail sales in US stores. pc games sells much more worldwide and Steam got like 17 million subscribers (Valve say so) even if only 1% of them buy the game thigs will change significently.

I bought the retail version of DMC4 and really enjoyed it much more than the 360 version.  I think the main problem with the PC releases is that they come out so much later than their console counterparts, so that hurts sales overall.  Also reading some reviews have a bias against the PC(1up's review was abysmal).

I'd just like Capcom to not give up.  As long as they keep giving me games on the PC, I'll buy them as my rig really outshines the litle consoles.  I plan on purchasing both Bionic Commandos and I'm desperately waiting for SFIV.  I just wish SSF2T:HD Remix were coming to PC as I the controllers for 360 are horrid.

You bring me HD Remix to PC, I'll sell my 360 tomorrow.  Guarentee...

Lazy developers

 Developers don't get all the time, money and staffing they want you know. And its quite possible they tried doing mouse control and thought it wasn't good enough to be included.

Yeah, you are probably right, 6 months wasn't enough to add a freakin' mouse support

SIX MONTHS

First of all, I agree with everyone here who says it's a great game. I bought it for the PC and I have enjoyed it immensely. The graphics are really slick and the controls are great. However, the way you set up your controls stinks of lazyness to me. I am really curious and since we have an insider answering in this thread I would really like to know, is it hard to change the graphics for how the controls are represented in the game? Having to assign my logitech gamepad to an XBOX360-controller really doesn't make much sense to me.

I ended up having to write down my assignments to be able to change the right stuff in the controller menu in the game. All of this hassle really gave me a first bad impression of the game and got me thinking that I had another drab lazy port on my hands but once I got playing all those fears went out the window since the game really is great. However I really think that some time could have been spent changing the controller menus to represent PC controllers, I'm guessing that the PS3 version doesn't ask you to map your PS3 controller to an XBOX controller.

So as I said before, I'm really curious about if these changes are harder to make than you might think since from the outside it seems like "simple" changes that for some reason aren't being made.

Oh and btw, rumble does not work with the logitech cordless rumblepad 2 , I know that's a technical issue but those kind of things really should work out of the box.

A fair question... but one I'm ultimately going to answer with another question:

Actually we did support a controller out of the box: the Games for Windows controller as mandated by the Games for Windows TCRs. Any gamepad that uses the same DirectInput calls/button maps should have also worked out of the box. 

The question is how many controllers and which ones are the right ones to support? We made it so any and all keys could be assigned as needed (as it seems you've managed albeit with a bit of work). We supported what should be deemed "the standard PC controller" and there's probably more of these in the wild due to 360 penetration than pretty much anything else you could think of. Anything else, we figured would be handled by the configurability offered via menus/config files.

In short, it's impossible to support and test (and testing has significant costs associated with it on PC) every possible controller combination there is out there.

The beauty of Games for Windows as a program is you know what's going to be supported and anything else is likely to be a question mark.

P.S.- Ever play Crysis with a 360 pad? It's sort of cool in a Haloish sort of way. :)
